President Trump suggested Monday night that former acting FBI director Andrew McCabe committed treason, making his case in a tweet that cited Fox Newss Sean Hannity, hours after lobbing similar claims at Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein.

Trump sent the tweet during Hannitys nightly show, in which the host assailed McCabe for claiming that he and Rosenstein discussed invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from power.

Quoting Hannity, Trump wrote, The biggest abuse of power and corruption scandal in our history, and its much worse than we thought. Andrew McCabe (FBI) admitted to plotting a coup (government overthrow) when he was serving in the FBI, before he was fired for lying & leaking. @seanhannity @FoxNews Treason! @seanhannity @FoxNews Treason!

Trump basically just summed it up. They plotted to overthrow the government of the United States.

Why would lifelong government employees participate in such a thing? Ideology?

No, I dont believe this was ideology. This, first and foremost, was and is, about power and money. Those people involved, including McCabe, had accepted the Clintons money and favors, advanced their lives and careers, and Trump was a threat to exposure of their illegal behaviors. They went all in. We the people should return the favor with a long rope on the White House lawn.

Treasonous activities have so far led to the perpetrators being fired, but not much else. This is not a proper reckoning. They write books, make media appearances to promote their books, appear on cable news shows, and flaunt their defiance on social media. None are behind bars or being prsecuted (yet). That seems to be reserved only for Trump associates like Paul Manafort, still in solitary confinement...

The players in this coup are not only McCabe and Comey, but also Clapper and Brennan, as well as second tier FBI and DOJ officials including Strzok, Yates, Page, Ohr, Baker, and others. One cant leave out the ring leaders of this entire cabal of corruption  Clinton and Obama...

“No, I dont believe this was ideology. This, first and foremost, was and is, about power and money.”

I agree that it isn't about ideology, per se. This is about an outsider winning the Presidency, and saying he was going to drain the swamp. The whole of government is a swamp, so a lot of people felt threatened.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT, MR. PRESIDENT? Yes, I’m shouting, because if President Trump doesn’t do anything about it, then nobody will. And somebody has to. This cannot be tolerated, from either party.

Things are really picking up speed and heating up to the boiling point. Both sides are throwing the "T-word" at each other, and this can't end well no matter which way you cut it. Considering what the historical results of people accused and found guilty of Treason, all stops will be pulled as they go to the mattresses.

Just remember HRC's alleged own words: If that bastard (Trump) wins we'll all hang from nooses

Going just by the constitution would a conviction for treason be tossed out by a fair-minded scotus?

"Fair-minded" and Supreme court with people like the "wise latina", leftist loon Ginsberg, and "I never met a restriction on government powers that I didn't hate" Roberts don't really belong in the same sentence.

The entire cabal including the clintons must face prosecution and most need to see serious jail time. If this does not happen pretty much anything else is pointless. The next time they are back in power they will make sure the people have no say so whatsoever in government. Then it’s over and the festivities will need to start if we are going to live free again.

Hell has frozen over! Samantha Guthrie interviewed McCabe live this AM. She was really, really tough on him. If I heard it correctly, McCabe claimed that McConnell and Ryan were at meetings with legislative leadership where they were informed about the FBI investigation of the President!
